Give the NOT ‘good ol’ boys’ the boot!
The citizens of the small city of Bastrop are taking back their town. Check out here how they put their boots on. Know that you can too — and we’ll help.
Do you vote halfheartedly, or not at all, because you don’t want to encourage them?
Then you must be an independent Texan — along with about a 42% plurality of Texas voters!
We’ve seen our country, state and cities hijacked by an unaccountable elite that holds itself above the people. But America was not created for the establishment, by the establishment. She is now and will always be of the people, by the people, and FOR the people.
Do you believe change starts with ENDING THE TWO PARTY STRANGLEHOLD on our electoral system? We do!
If you think you came to the right place, you can start by calling yourself by the right name – an independent Texan.
Independent Texans is not a political party. We are a political action committee, founded in 2001, dedicated to opening up electoral competition, not cornering the political marketplace. We do support and oppose candidates and ballot measures. We can also assist you in getting your candidate or measure on the ballot.
Now, declare your own independence by doing the Independent Texans’ Three-Step:
►Step One: Subscribe to our email list like us on Facebook and visit our News section for all the latest independent Texas dish.
►Step Two: Become a member the League of Independent Voters of Texas, a non-profit membership association for independent non-aligned voters.
►Step Three: Invite us to your community or come to a local gathering — to grow the independent political movement from the bottom up!
